Travel delays, snowed in airports, TSA scans and pat-downs, equipment problems, and more. Unless you have your own private plane, the jet-set life is not a glamorous one anymore. It’s full of inconveniences and time killers. And as we enter the holiday season and so many more people squeeze into those ever-shrinking airline seats, it’s time to get ready with some apps for your smartphone or tablet that will help give you the edge on knowing about delays, planning trips, being productive and staying entertained. Don’t leave home without them.
